Greetings,
My TBP12 Transmitter (part of the G50 system) has finally broken. The battery flap completely snapped off. I managed to tape it on at gig, but obviously this is not going to work full time, due to the need to be able to change batteries quickly.
I'm living and working in the Middle East so finding a replacement is going to be a nightmare, if not impossible altogether.
However, I do have an XD-V75 TBP12 Transmitter (part of the wireless headset mic system) - This unit looks exactly the same as the G50 TBP12, and is still in perfect condition due to not being used.
Question: Will the XD-V75 TBP12 transmitter work with my G50?
I can't check this as the receiver is not with me until the next gig (it is all stored at another location).
Thank you in advance,
P.
nb. Thought I should add that I realize there are some settings on the XD-V75 TBP12 that will be useless with the G50 and of course I will need to set same RF Mode and Channel. etc.

Hi all.
Have been using my G50 wireless with guitar for many years, on weekend i used it in another band plugged into a bass guitar. Sound was fine, however it used lots of batteries for the night.
Started with a fresh set of batteries in transmitter, display on body pack indicated 8 hours of runtime remaining, however at end of 1st set was indicating low battery. Replaced battery for 2nd set and the same thing occurred.
Wondering if this is a common occurrence using these for bass guitars, or if it has something to do with the bass having active pickups, or if it could have just been a dud pack of batteries.
Used it the following night back in guitar and got through entire night on single set of batteries, still showing more than 4 hours remaining.
Anyone else experienced a similar scenario?

Noticed last night my G50 cutting out, about 50' away from my board. We had a pretty crowded gig and I'm sure I lost line of sight of the board. I do run on power saver. Would running full power increase range and prevent drop outs? I get about a gig out of batteries at full power. They're rechargable so really, not an issue.

Hey all, wondering if anyone else has had this problem in the past with their Relay G50/G90 transmitter:
My guitarist made the error of using his with a set of "cheaper" Chinese-made rechargeable batteries. I'm not sure if it was a problem with overcharging, heat, etc., but they're now stuck in his transmitter. The battery door still closes, and the transmitter still functions, but these batteries can not be removed. Almost as if they've expanded in size to the point where they're stuck. Has anyone developed a trick for dislodging batteries that have gotten stuck in these transmitters?
Hoping I don't have to send it off to Line 6 in order to get this issue solved. I also don't want to attempt to disassemble the unit myself in order to remove them, as I'm sure the company wouldn't recommend that.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
The audio light on my G50 receiver flashes from green to red when I play with louder dynamics. I do not notice a signal drop out. Is the unit peaking?
The light stops turning red when I turn down the volume from my bass. However I find that my volume dial saps a bit of my top end as I turn it down.
This never happened with my G30. Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks

Hello,
Maybe someone can help me with some suggestions.
I've had a Line6 G50 Relay for about a month. I am a bass player with a classic rock cover band. I've played a couple gigs with the G50, and have issues with RF signal strength creating some quick intermittment dropouts. The gig last week saw me lose signal multiple times during the 90 minute set. I can actually see the RF signal strength lights go all the way down, and then come back. I haven't seen any red lights.
- I'm using the supplied Line6 power supply
- I'm using new alkaline batteries with the transmitter
- Transmitter is secured to guitar strap (not in back pocket)
- I've used analog UHF systems in the past with no issues
However, I also am using a Galaxy AS1100 for my "in ear" monitors. The overall signal from my Galaxy is NOT dropping, as the rest of the band is staying clear in my "in ears".
My band is also running a Presonus digital mixer, and we have a wireless hotspot setup for running our own monitor mixers via Presonus apps on our mobile devices (I keep my iPhone 4S in my pocket opposite side of the G50 transmitter).
We have one guitar player who is using a Line6 G30 system. He has a little trouble with signal strength, but doesn't seem to be having as much trouble as myself.
I'm trying to find that "sweet spot" where I can run my systems without interference (assuming it is possible). I've been seeing some comments about "line of sight" and the G50 system, so I'm wondering how "restrictive" that concern needs to be (do I need to be right in clear sight of the antennas at all times - that doesn't seem very convenient).
I've been putting the unit on top of my combo amp (a GK MB212-II), so it is about 3ft off the ground. The antennas have been pointing at "noon" and "6pm", as opposed to "10am" and "2pm" - could that matter? I was told to put the receiver higher up, but I'm not coming up with a good way to accomplish this.
Currently, I'm running "channel 2" and have been trying the "RF1" signal setting (it was originally "RF2", and I changed it per other Line6 tech suggestions on the forum). I talked to a Line6 rep who said the lower channel were better choices, but maybe I'm conflicting with the router/hotspot at the mixer?
I know there is quite a bit here to deal with, but I keep hearing that the G50 and Line6 are the best digital wireless systems out there, so I'm thinking I just need to find the right settings. I've been running analog wireless systems for years, and love the technology. I've also had the Galaxy "in ear" system for almost a year, without any issues (when using my previous guitar wireless UHF system).
Definitely beginning to get a tad frustrated with my move to digital guitar wireless. So many possible issues.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I own a G50 wireless and the belt pack pack that came in the box has a power save feature which will start out fresh batteries showing 10 hours battery life remaining. On regular mode it shows 8 hours like all of the other TBP units. Also, this pack can have a name or number text programmed into it. I want to know if this exact unit is available as a separate purchase on its own withouth the reciever. Right now the only models i can find now are marketed for microphones and described as "guitar friendly". I am looking to add a belt pack for each guitar I use live but I want the same model as the original. Does anyone know if this is possible or if this unit is only exclusively available with the full combo package? Or if this is a discontinued item and I just need to settle for the VD70 or 75 or whatever is available...

I have a G50, it's worked flawlessly for months. But it just started having a problem. Reception is great, full green bars, new batteries. But now it only works if I play hard. It will no longer pick up soft playing. It's like there is a gate effect on it. I tried two guitars, it's not the guitar output or pickups. It's definitely the g50. What could cause it to only transmit loud playing and not pick up soft playing despite having a great signal (tried other channels all are the same). Thanks

Yesterday I tried to upgrade G50 with V75. So I needed to change its mode to 'Lodder on' mode. And I had had exprience to upgrade V70 beltpack which is very simillar too. But I always failed into that mode.
What I did was that I turned off with pressing value button and pressing several times select button.
It's version is "1.02" and I read a artical on line6 site that you recommed it's version should be higher than 1.03.
Is it correct and if that should I need to return to dealer or line6 office for upgrading?
Best regards,
